The Town of Gander is advising residents that the systematic flushing of all main water lines will start September 3, 2024, and will continue until November 15, 2024. This will take place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
During this period, residents may experience fluctuating water pressure, discoloration, or debris in the water lines. If this occurs, run the water until clear, then remove faucet aerators and carefully flush any debris from screens and washers, ensuring that all parts are reassembled in the correct order and orientation.
It is not recommended to wash laundry between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. to avoid the possibility of staining.
The purpose of this flushing is to provide a higher quality of water.
Your understanding is appreciated.
